The Lock-In (#)
Our Cinema 1 transforms into a pub, screening Stanley Schtinter's archive EastEnders project, followed by a talk and a pub experience.
Aligning with the 40th anniversary of EastEnders, join us for The Lock-In, a unique project by artist Stanley Schtinter that transforms decades of EastEnders into an immersive supercut and that's been described by Anita Dobson, the legendary Angie Watts, as 'an interesting project'.
Compiled entirely from scenes set in the iconic Queen Vic pub, this seamless edit toured East End pubs during the summer of 2022, offering a nostalgic and communal experience.
This special version of The Lock-In will screen for one night only, transforming our Cinema into a lively communal space inspired by the Queen Vic. The evening includes a conversation with Schtinter about the project’s development and a bespoke, specially brewed beer from East End Brewing Co., available exclusively for our guests.
